The Holy
Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience,
kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law
against these things!
Those who
belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful
nature to his cross and crucified them there. Since we are living by the
Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives.
Galatians 5 v 22-25 (NLT)

A Prayer to
Produce the Fruit of the Holy Spirit
Heavenly
Father, how we pray that our lives would show forth the beautiful fruit of the
Spirit, which is rooted and grounded in godly love, and produced in a life that
is walking in spirit and truth.
I pray that
the life of Christ may guard my spirit and rule my life and that I may truly be
submitted to the leading and guidance of Your Holy Spirit. Teach me I pray, to
walk in spirit and truth, to live as unto the Lord, to depend on Your
sufficient grace, and in Your strength, to fulfil the new commandment You gave
to the Church, to love others as Christ loved us.
My love is
weak and poor, but I pray that in Your mercy You would fan into flame a
Christ-like love in my heart, and develop in me a deep and genuine love for all
my brothers and sisters in Christ.
I pray that
I would take every opportunity to demonstrate Your love to others, in action,
attitude, mood and motive, and to show forth Your love not only with my lips
but in my life, by giving up myself to Your service, and by walking in holiness
and humility of spirit all the days of my life, to Your praise and glory. In
Jesus' name I pray,
Amen.
